by

As a seasoned TEKKEN fan with over two decades of experience under my belt, I couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement when I learned about the upcoming updates for TEKKEN 8. From new characters to improved customization options, it seems like Bandai Namco has been listening to our community’s feedback and is delivering on all fronts.

At the end of the esports season, everyone got a sneak peek at what’s coming next for the game. Harada unveiled updates for TEKKEN 8, including Season 2, and shared additional details as well.

At the TWT Finals 2024, several thrilling revelations were shared regarding the future of TEKKEN 8. These include updates, the launch of Season 2, and the introduction of new characters. You can find all the specifics in this post.

TEKKEN 8 new character: When is the reveal?

It turns out that the news which captivates our whole community the most didn’t occur during that particular event. However, we have some clue about when the official unveiling of the new TEKKEN 8 character will take place.

  • The TEKKEN 8 new character will be shown during The Game Awards 2024 ceremony: at 4:30 p.m. PT / 7:30 p.m. ET on Dec.12.

The new challenger joins three other TEKKEN 8 characters of the Year 1 Pass:

  • Eddy Gordo
  • Lidia Sobieska
  • Heihachi Mishima

TEKKEN 8 Anna Williams teased in the Season 2 trailer

Subtle clues suggest that Anna Williams might be part of TEKKEN 8, as the discerning eyes of the community have observed. Key indicators include:

  • Kiss prints on the missiles during the scene with Nina Willaims;
  • Harada was wearing a T-shirt with Anna Williams during his presentation.

In our latest post, we delve deep into the subtle clues surrounding Anna Williams in Tekken 8, as well as providing a comprehensive overview of her character. Be sure to give it a read for further insights.

There’s a strong possibility that Anna from TEKKEN 8 could make her appearance during Season 2, given the indications shown in the corresponding segment of the reveal trailer. However, it’s also plausible that she might be the final character introduced in Year 1.

At the moment, there are no announced guest characters for TEKKEN 8. However, it’s likely that some will be introduced during Season 2.

TWT 2025: The TEKKEN World Tour returns 

This announcement feels thrilling yet predictable. Given the overall triumph of TWT 2024, it makes perfect sense that the TEKKEN World Tour 2025 would follow as the subsequent installment in the official esports sequence.

2024 saw an abundance of Master, Challenger, and Dojo tournaments throughout the competitive season for TEKKEN 8. The champion was crowned during the Finals: Rangchu and his character Kuma claimed the first title as the TEKKEN 8 World Tour Champion. Players like Arslan Ash, ATIF, ULSAN, and Shadow 20z will undoubtedly seek retribution in the TWT 2025 season.

TEKKEN 8 Season 2: Big updates in 2025

In Spring 2025, we’re anticipating a major update for TEKKEN 8. Prior to that, we can expect some intriguing yet relatively small adjustments, such as enhancements to the Photo Mode and additional tiers in the Fight Pass system.

In the Spring of 2025, the TEKKEN 8 update introduces new techniques for every character. At this time, details about modifications to existing move sets remain unclear; however, it’s reasonable to anticipate such changes as seen in previous updates that toned down Dragunov and Nina’s abilities.

TEKKEN 8 Fight Pass update

In TEKKEN 8, the Fight Pass upgrade introduces additional reward levels, known as bonus tiers. Since the seasons in this game are extended, devoted players can ascend to the highest tier swiftly. The introduction of these bonus tiers aims to provide extra incentive, encouraging dedicated players to continue battling for attractive rewards.

30th Anniversary of TEKKEN 8 will introduce the Fight Pass, arriving soon and featuring throwback items including character outfits. A glimpse of these items was revealed in the recent Winter Update trailer.

New Customization options

As a die-hard fan of the Tekken series, I’m always thrilled about the extensive customization options they offer. But this time around, they’ve really outdone themselves, stepping up the game with some impressive tweaks to the character customization features.

  • New customization slots: Create and save even more TEKKEN 8 costumes for your characters.

  • Customized characters in the main menu: See your best creations directly in the main menu of TEKKEN 8.

TEKKEN 8 Photo Mode improved

In the upcoming Tekken 8 update, the developers are enhancing the Photo Mode within the game. This means some new features will be introduced, such as the ability to alter the character’s facial expressions for optimal photos.

Look for a specific player

In TEKKEN 8, this innovative function lets you trace particular opponents you’ve encountered within the game. To illustrate, if you’ve engaged in a multiplayer match and wish to locate that player again, you’ll require knowledge of their username or screen name to access their profile.
